Title
Vintage Steering Wheel
Description
A vintage steering wheel from (possibly) c1910-c1915 time period.
We do not know what kind of vehicle this belonged to, but given other William Salo donations to the collection were from his farm this is more likely a tractor steering wheel than one from an automobile. The 3-spoke design is also common for tractors of that era.
However, other sources believe it is from a mid 1930s Chevrolet (matching the hardened rubber over a steel frame construction).
